Any fruit toast fans out there? I really love it, but only in A, an airport lounge, or B, at a hotel buffet. For some reason, those thick slices that have done 2 circuits in the conveyor belt toaster, followed …

French chocolate tart
Hello chocolate, my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again. Way back in our university days, my friends and I played a game where one word in a song title would be replaced with a word that is …
